🕵️ Game Preview

The Timberwolves roll into Philly on a four-game win streak while the 76ers have dropped 10 straight and are without key players like Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.

🎯 Why Edwards Over 27.5 Is the Best Bet

Edwards is in rhythm and Philadelphia has no one left in the backcourt to match up. Over the last 5 games, he’s averaging 31.0 PPG on 55% shooting and hitting nearly 40% from deep. With the Wolves likely dominating from the jump, Edwards should rack up his points early before any fourth-quarter rest.

Even in potential blowouts this season, he's consistently cleared 28+ when playing at least 30 minutes — which he’s likely to hit here.
